Delight

 What is our delight in?

I recently came across an instagram post that details the pronounciation and spelling of the word "Lion" in various languages. 

Apparently, the word Lion in Turkish is Aslan.

Wow, C S Lewis, nice usage of the turkish word there.

It then reminded me that the witch, upon encountering Edward, Edward asked for Turkish delight. Maybe the real turkish delight is Aslan, the turkish word for lion. Maybe Aslan is the real turkish delight. Is the turkish delight we long for the candy? It is very good, and delicious. But it soon runs empty and dry.

What is truly satisfying?

Or maybe the question should be... Who is truly satisfying?

Aslan, come and satisfy.

Ready

 Being ready is not just ticking every box in the check list.

Ready - the early meaning is to be ready to ride, perhaps on horses. 

Maybe ready is to be prepared, having counted the cost, to sail the highs and ride the lows, a mindset to have.

Being ready does not mean being unsurprised. Ready signifies in a state with capacity to handle what comes. 

You can tick every checkbox off the list, and still, not ready. Ready is being able to step forward to welcome the unexpected, unfazed at the strange and confidently meeting the known and unknown.
